Thought i'd play along with Less is more challenge again as I am really enjoying it and it really is a challenge for me, first I made a mask and lightly distressed the base card using Tim holtz distress ink, I then used this old stamp which was given to me by my friend Diane so not sure how old is old but I love the trees, finishing off with a stamped sentiment and 3 pearls...well I had too just to compliment the colour LOL!! well this is the card before I added the pearls

I have cut the card blank and words on the cricut using scal software, DP are from Pink Petticoat, my Image is from http://adayfordaisies.com/'Daisy Girl' coloured with promarkers and lots of stickles added, finishing off with a big red bow. We are being sponsored this time by
